Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] build: drop files generated by config.status from tarball

The rule of thumb is that any file generated by config.status

Therefore, it is inappropriate to include such generated files
in the tarball (for proof, Makefile is generated from Makefile.in;
the former is not in the tarball while the latter is).

Actually that part is wrong. The libvirt.spec need to be in the
tarball to allow to build rpms from it. This breaks for example "make rpm".
I reverted that part of the patch,
